Multiple European nations along with Canada have warned their residents about stricter rules for those traveling to the U.S., informing them that they could face detention if they violate these new stipulations imposed by President Donald Trump.

In this policy, individuals who have undergone gender transition or marked "X" for non-binary status on their passports might be subject to detention or deportation, according to the White House's directive acknowledging only two genders, which was formalized through an executive order on January 20.

Below is an overview of the recent changes made to U.S. travel guidelines by six nations updating their policies.

– United Kingdom: arrest alert –

Britain’s Foreign Office has recently revised its travel guidance for those heading to the U.S., stating: "U.S. authorities rigorously establish and enforce entry requirements. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in your arrest or detainment."

This warning came after reports of a British tourist being held at the US-Canada border.

– Canada: brief visits –

Previously, Canadians could remain in the United States for up to six months without a permit, but Ottawa announced on March 21 that this privilege would be reduced.

"Visitors from Canada and other foreign countries staying in the United States for more than 30 days are required to register with the U.S. government," it stated in an updated version of its travel advisory.

Non-compliance with the registration requirement might lead to penalties, fines, and potential misdemeanor charges.

– Denmark, Finland: gender issue –

Denmark’s foreign ministry explicitly warned travellers in an update on March 21 that trans or binary travellers risked difficulties when travelling to the United States.

"If you've listed X as your gender on your passport or if you've undergone a change of sex, it is advised to reach out to the US embassy prior to traveling to verify which regulations will be applicable," the ministry informed AFP.

Finland cautioned travelers that their visa or travel application might be denied if the gender indicated in their passport did not correspond with their biological sex at birth.

— France: Look for guidance —

On Tuesday, France’s foreign ministry released an updated advisory, encouraging travelers to keep an eye on notices from the US embassy and inquire with their airline companies regarding modifications to entry criteria.

Regarding U.S. visas and visa-waiver documents, it stated that they must "take notice of an additional section which mandates indicating your gender at birth" as per the directive issued in January.

— Germany: adhere to immigration regulations —

Germany provided fresh instructions following instances where U.S. immigration officials held several German citizens attempting to cross into the country.

"A criminal history in the U.S., providing inaccurate information about your visit, or staying just a bit longer than allowed can result in being arrested, detained, and deported upon entry or exit from the country," it stated.

It further recommended that travelers with an 'X' marker for gender or those whose passport indicates a sex differing from their birth-assigned sex should reach out to U.S. authorities in Germany prior to travel.
